Theo can package Youk up with whatever else it woud take. Certainly, Youkilis could be the centerpiece.

So would I, but I think the Sox would get next to nothing for Lowell.

If the choice comes down to Youk or Teixeira at approximately the same contract, who do you take. If Youk has another year like this year, he'll be looking for big money and a long term contract. If the Sox go after Teixeira now, they can get a really good player in return. That's the move. Nothing else makes sense to me if the Sox sign Teixeira. Lowell looked like a broken down war horse. Teams will not give a lot in return for a guy who may not physically recover. Teams will not give much for a Power Hitting DH (Ortiz) who has yet to prove that he has fully recovered from a wrist injury. I wouldn't be happy to see Youk leave, but I'd rather have Teixeira. And trading Youk could get a SS or pitcher.

It would be very tough to get enough playing time for Youk, Ortiz, Teixeira, and Lowell. None of these gus are platoon players. They all play 150+ games a year. when healthy. If they have injury situations like Ortiz, Lowell and Drew had last year, there would be no problem. Youk could even play some left field in Fenway if Bay could play some RF. Edit: If they sign Teixeira, someone would have to get traded. After the injuries from last season, Lowell's and Ortiz's value would be way down. Why sell low. The best trading commodity would be Youkilis. He's approaching his FA years. He may be difficult to keep anyway. He could net the Sox a really good player in return.

About half way through the season Matsuzaka should break down from throwing in the WBC. A rehabilitated Schilling would fill the void nicely. If he can get himself to the point where he can hit 90-91, he'd be a nice addition. No one is better in the playoffs.

Carlos Zambrano too

I hate this. Many of the guys that participated the last time had arm problems during the season.

Anyone to retire after a 20 win season is a complete imbecile. My estimation of Stanford has gone down. My prediction is that Moose, who is a miserable prick of a person, will be divorced within a year. His wife will not be able to stand having him around 12 mos of the year. He will then attempt a comeback. It is reminiscent to me of Ryan Sandberg when he retired to spend more time with his family. His wife filed for divorce three weeks later, and the following year Sandberg was begging for his job. He took a pay cut from $7 million to $1 million. A player who walks away from the game while he is still highly marketable is an idiot. That's just my opinion.

This guy walks too many batters. His WHIP of 1.23 is nothing to brag about for a late inning guy.

Sox now "fully engaged" in Burnett talks
a700hitter replied to jacksonianmarch's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Didn't Burnett get called out by management for sitting out with minor aches in 2007? I think he may have a little dog in him. -

Ortiz is not hypothesizing about "laying down" Manny. He's talking about Manny being Manny who mashes. That Manny could have made the difference in game 7.

By the time Bucholz is ready, Wakefield could be retired. Lowe took the ball every 5 days and as frustrating as he can be at times, he is nowhere near the roller coaster stomach churning ride that is Wakefield.
-
Gregg blows.

I'd rather hand him the ball every 5th day instead of Wakefield, and I'd prefer Lowe over Bulcholz in 2009.
